Eeyore's lament

It's not actually that fun to learn about a depressing subject that you feel you have little control over. Surprising? Many of the climate change events for Focus the Nation events are poorly attended, which is really not that surprising (though disappointing). Who wants to be depressed? When I look around the audience and see the fallen faces, I can't blame them. So, how to overcome it? - turning our backs just because it is painful is not a good solution. A few thoughts on antidotes to climate depression:

• the more we can find a sense of community to support us, the easier it will be
  
• focus on solutions
  
• empower people
  
• meditate
• get out in nature
• forget about it for awhile :)
  
• I'll probably write more on this later, but a sense of spirituality, a connection to a greater whole, has been a great antidote for me.
